Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your browser or device. They can support essential functions, remember a preference, help protect a form, or provide aggregated information about how pages perform.

2. Current use on debacat

debacat is primarily a static editorial website. We do not intentionally use advertising cookies or cookies designed to create individual health, medical, or behavioural profiles. Basic hosting and security systems may still process technical requests or use strictly necessary technologies to keep the website available and protect it from abuse.

3. Strictly necessary technologies

Necessary technologies may be used for security, traffic management, form protection, preference storage, or reliable delivery of website pages. Because these functions are required for the service requested by the visitor, they may operate without a separate marketing choice where permitted by applicable law.

4. Preference cookies

If debacat introduces optional display or consent preferences, a cookie or local browser record may remember your selection so that you do not need to repeat it on every page. These records should contain only the information needed to preserve the preference.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand general matters such as page popularity, broad device categories, loading errors, and navigation patterns. Where consent is required, non-essential analytics should remain disabled until a visitor has made a valid choice. Analytics information should be reviewed in aggregated form rather than used to identify individual readers.

6. Third-party services

If a future page embeds an external service, that provider may place its own cookies or collect technical information under its own policy. We aim to avoid unnecessary third-party tracking and to identify optional integrations before they are activated.

7. Cookie duration

Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry date or until they are removed manually. Where debacat controls the duration, it should be limited to the period reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.

8. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to review, delete, block, or limit cookies. The relevant controls are usually found under privacy, security, site data, or cookie settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect contact forms, saved preferences, or other basic website functions.

9. Do Not Track and similar signals

Browser privacy signals are not implemented consistently across all services. Where technically practical, debacat seeks to minimise tracking by default and to respect clear preference choices made through available controls.

10. Changes to this policy

This Cookies Policy may be updated if website functionality changes or new tools are introduced. The current version and update date will be published on this page.
